Patent GB-2060472-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or Relating to Hose Manufacture
IPC: B29C48/09
Filed: 1980-09-12
Abstract: The continuous manufacture of reinforced hose is performed by forming an assembly of a tubular reinforcement structure 23 and a tubular lining layer 24 surrounded by but not united with the reinforcement structure. The assembly is fed to separation means, such as a tubular mandrel 10, and cover material for the hose is applied, e.g. by extrusion, to the reinforcement structure whilst the lining is maintained spaced from the reinforcement by said separation means. The separation means may serve also to provide support for the reinforcement structure during application of the cover material. Subsequent to formation of the cover the lining is united with the reinforcement structure. <IMAGE>

Alternatively the alignment means may be provided on a member disposed parallel to and adjacent the tensioning part. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2089982-A (GB)
Title: Detecting leaks in engines
IPC: G01M3/24
Filed: 1980-12-22
Abstract: A method is provided of detecting a leak, for instance in the lubricant or coolant system of an internal combustion engine. Gas under pressure, such as compressed air, is supplied to an enclosed space of the engine. An electroacoustic transducer is used to search for the sound of gas escaping through a leak to the exterior of the engine. It is thus possible to detect a leak with the engine in a vehicle or on a test bed but without having to dismantle the engine.
Patent GB-2068128-A (GB)
Title: A circuit for measuring energy transfer
IPC: G01K17/16
Filed: 1981-01-06
Abstract: In a circuit for measuring the transfer of energy, such as heat flow in a heating system, high frequency pulses from generator 17 are fed to a measuring device 18 for time periods whose frequency depends on the magnitude of a first parameter, e.g. fluid flow, and whose length depends on a second parameter, e.g. temperature drop. To avoid faulty measurements if the frequency of the generator 17 varies, the circuit provides means for modifying the length of the periods. The periods are started by a pulse from flowmeter 13 which opens a gate 22 between generator 17 and counter 18. The periods are terminated by a signal from a comparator 25 when a voltage applied to its first input and representing the number of pulses supplied to counter 18 during a period becomes equal to a signal representing the magnitude of the temperature drop. Thus if the frequency of the generator 17 drops the length of the periods increases accordingly and vice versa. In this embodiment, the comparison is effected in an analogue manner, but it may be effected digitally. <IMAGE>

Title: Burglar alarms
Inventor: RANKIN JOHN BRIAN
IPC: G08B13/08
Filed: 1981-08-04
Abstract: An alarm device comprises two members 12, 14 biased by means of a coiled spring 18 away from one another towards a stable position, there being a meta-stable position. A projection 22 and corresponding depression 20 between the members from a detent at which the device may be held in a meta-stable position by the application of an external force. The members 12, 14 are shaped so as to fit within a narrow gap where they may be retained in a meta-stable position. On being dislodged from the gap, for example by unauthorised opening of a door or window, the device springs to its stable position thereby triggering an alarm which may be, for example a pin and cartridge arrangement allowing the device to be independent of any electrical circuit wiring. If preferred, the device may operate a switch to close an electric alarm circuit. <IMAGE>

Title: Method and apparatus for storing energy
IPC: H02J15/00
Filed: 1982-03-24
Abstract: Method and apparatus for the storage of energy in which electrical energy is fed through a coil to generate a pulsed alternating polarity magnetic field acting on a fluid containing a Fermi gas maintained at a superconducting temperature so as to compressor compact the atomic particles of the gas against electrostatic repulsion forces or against a Pauli exclusion pressure. Thermal energy may also be absorbed by the gas. In an embodiment a cylindrical base 20 closed by a lid 30 defines a void 42 in which annular rings 44, spacer discs 46 and rings 48 are disposed. A gas valve 50 controls a passageway 52 leading into the void for liquid hydrogen. By arranging a coil around the device and an associated ferromagnetic member with suitable control circuitry and enclosing the assemblage in a thermal insulation container, the energy of electrical pulses is stored in the gas. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-823721-A (GB)
Abstract: 823,721. Supporting transmitters and receivers. SOCONY MOBIL OIL CO. Inc. Aug. 27, 1956 [Feb. 13, 1956], No. 26156/56. Class 40 (4). [Also in Group XL (c)] An acoustic well logging unit comprises acoustic transducers to be operated in spacedapart relationship (see Group XL (c)) and is characterized by the provision between said transducers of an acoustical attenuating assembly comprising a flexible elongated member interconnecting said transducers and a plurality of weights secured to and spaced along said member, each of said weights having a mass which is large compared with that of a corresponding length of said member, said assembly attenuating flow of acoustic energy between the one of said transducers producing acoustic energy and the one of said transducers receiving said energy. The upper end of the unit (Fig. 2) comprises a receiver 10b secured to an adapter 11 generally cone-shaped and with exterior circumferential grooves on to which a tubular jacket 20, preferably of neoprene, is moulded. A substantially similar adapter 24 is moulded into the lower end of jacket 20 (Fig. 4) and carries a transmitter 10a. A strain member or cable 16 carrying at least three spaced lead weights 21 is secured at its respective ends in the adapters 11 and 24. The jacket 20 is compressed during this assembly operation such that the cable 16 is left in a state of tension. The space between the cable and jacket is filled with a fluid having a similar compressibility as that of the jacket material. To ensure that the cable 16 remains under tension even at high pressures in deep bore holes, and thereby maintains the transducers at a fixed distance apart, an extra weight is added at the bottom of the unit. This is shown diagrammatically at W in Fig. 4 and may include electrical apparatus to operate the transmitter 10a. Electrical conductors such as 14c extend between the upper and lower ends of the assembly by passing through longitudinal peripheral channels cut in the weights 21. Specifications 774,098 and 774,099, [both in Group XXXVIII], are referred to.

Patent GB-2143083-A (GB)
Title: Semiconductor structures
Inventor: SCOVELL PETER DENIS
IPC: H01L27/06
Filed: 1983-07-06
Abstract: A heterojunction structure which can be employed in, for example, a CMOS- compatible bipolar transistor. In one version, and comprising a lateral transistor, base region (8) is formed at the walls of a hole-like well (5) etched into a n-type well (16) of an n-well CMOS integrated circuit formed in a silicon semiconductor substrate (2). A deposited emitter (9) extending into the well and partially over the surface of masking layers (1,3) provided on the substrate (2), is in contact with the base region (8). The deposited emitter (9) may comprise a doped-SIPOS (semi insulating polycrystalline silicon) layer 10 and a conducting polycrystalline silicon layer 11, or a doped single layer of polycrystelline silicon. An oxide layer (6) provides isolation preventing downward injection and ensuring good lateral operation of a lateral transistor employing the heterojunction structure, which heterojunction enables lower base resistance to be obtained than in homojunction devices by allowing high base doping. Such a lateral transistor structure requires only two additional maskings in comparison with conventional CMOS processing and, due to the use of a well, has a self-aligned active region. In another version (Fig. 9) a heterojunction planar transistor structure is formed in an n-type well of an n-well CMOS integrated circuit. <IMAGE>
